Abstract
The uncertainty and irregularity of making the resources available to communities that are alienated from mainstream society have caused instability in providing necessary support to empower and uplift the existing situation of the tribal communities in the Wayanad district of Kerala. Though there have been continuous efforts post-independence of India to make available the resources to the tribal communities, the living conditions including the educational facilities have not undergone substantial improvement. The journey from exclusion to inclusion has made the lives of tribes challenging and involved struggles to equip them with the basic rights that the country provides its citizens. This research paper aims to delineate the perception and challenges of education made available to the tribal communities in Wayanad by examining the facilities, schemes, and development policies made available to the tribal communities. The conclusive findings showcase the lagging, irregular, and irresponsible attitude of authorities towards the tribal communities in Wayanad from the viewpoint of the education facilities provided to them.
